I'm so frakking tired of this.

All of this hideous crashing and banging going on, the temperature fluctuations, the stupid ghosts, and when I finally get to sleep, it's one of those dreams again. What've you lot been doing for them, then? Anyone in the infirmary have anything to help with it?

A horse tranquiliser, maybe. An emergency stiff drink. Graduation, perhaps. I'll not be venturing out for anything frakking less, alright?

...thank you.



[ OOC: No, weird and distressing dreams (more than the usual kind) aren't an October symptom. Yet, anyway. But Baltar is making Assumptions that could stand correction. Tag-back also might be a bit later on but will get to them. ]

That's not what I meant.

[tobecaprican]

Right. You just mean for me to chill out.

Can you control the barge, Gaius?

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

I cannot.

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Can you control yourself?

[tobecaprican]

[ ...sigh. ]

Sometimes, that's just a bit difficult. [ But he's lost the snappish upsetness from his voice, save for his tone coming out flat. ]

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. [ Believe it or not, this man was once prone to flipping the fuck out about everything. His tone, while dull as ever, is not unkind. ] This whole thing is horseshit. Don't let it do any more to you.

[ A wee pause, before Gaius speaks again, having made an attempt at chilling the fuck out, as it were. Or the frak, either way. ]

A question, Mr. Connor.

What?

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

Do you know why I'm here?

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Sarah hasn't disclosed your file to me, no.

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

Alright.

[ Awkward pause, but there's no way in Hades that the point of asking was for confessions. Not that Gaius has any. ] Just checking, really.

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Do you know what my life was like? I mean really - not what was projected.

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

Only a fraction. Nothing past Sarah's coming here.

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Then let's neither of us worry about assumptions.

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

Right.

No, of course.

What's gonna help you get your shit together tonight?

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

The infirmary got in touch with me. They're going to help with the sleep problem for tonight.

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

Gimme a call in the morning.

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

[ Hesitation, then; ] Certainly.

I heard you earned yourself an inmate, by the way.

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

So that's you she's hanging out with, huh. [ He sounds.. kind of amused?? ]

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

Somehow, yes. I showed her around on her first day, sort of. [ Via phone. ] She's an odd one, I'll give her that.

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

She likes you?

voice | private;

[tobecaprican]

I can't tell, honestly. [ He is CONCERNED at that prospect. ] She likes the cigarettes.

voice | private;

[metallonkardia.livejournal.com]

That's a little weird.
